Photosensitive transfer recording material

Abstract

A photosensitive transfer recording material includes a temporary support having sequentially disposed thereon a thermoplastic resin layer, an alkali-soluble intermediate layer, and an alkali-soluble pigment-containing photosensitive resin layer, with the intermediate layer containing a polymer latex. The glass transition temperature of the polymer latex is 60° C. or less. Also disclosed is a process for producing a color filter including the photosensitive transfer recording material.

       wherein the intermediate layer contains a polymer latex.  
     
     
       2. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 1 , wherein the resin of the thermoplastic resin layer includes at least one of an acrylic resin, a polystyrene resin, a polyester resin, a polyurethane resin, a rubber resin, a vinyl acetate resin, a polyolefin resin, and copolymers thereof. 
     
     
       3. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 1 , wherein the resin of the thermoplastic resin layer includes 
       a resin (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 500,000 and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 0 to 140° C., and  
       a resin (B) having a weight average molecular weight of 3,000 to 30,000 and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 30 to 170° C.  
     
     
       4. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 3 , wherein the mixing ratio of resins (A) and (B) is 5 to 95% by weight. 
     
     
       5. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the thermoplastic resin layer is 6 to 100 μm. 
     
     
       6. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 1 , wherein the alkali-soluble intermediate layer comprises a resin that includes polyvinyl alcohol. 
     
     
       7. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 6 , wherein the degree of saponification of the polyvinyl alcohol is 80% or more. 
     
     
       8. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 6 , wherein the resin further includes polyvinyl pyrrolidone. 
     
     
       9. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 8 , wherein the polyvinyl pyrrolidone/polyvinyl alcohol weight ratio is 1:99 to 75:25. 
     
     
       10. The photosensitive transfer recording material according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the alkali-soluble intermediate layer is 0.1 to 5 μm.
